  • In order to debug their code programmers sometimes try to explain it to a rubber duck. Explaining your code or another subject to someone else will force you to evaluate it from different perspectives, and so you can come up with a solution.

    Rubber ducks should get promoted imo :^)

      And they should also be included in credits near programmers' names.

      And, once promoted a rubber duck becomes a rubber d*ck!

    Junior programmer: I can't solve this bug
    Senior programmer: Hold this rubber duck

    It's all fun and games until it tells you where's the bug.

    idk bout explaining the code out loud to inanimate objects but I like the idea 😄

      And the best thing is that it works, just be sure no one is watching you while doing this.

    Guys, I was stuck on a bug raised by the team for the last 3 days , I was all down , depressed. I jus searched in youtube, debugging complex method. One of the rubber duck video came, i just viewed it and I picked an old dump toy and started talking out loud,
    Guess what , I jus raised the PR for my fix.

    This method has been getting me through a whole year course of cs in a semester. However it came at the price of disturbing my roommates when I yell at my plushie for not helping me with a bug.
